Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preparing Land for Irrigation and Methods of Applying Water Then, apart from the influence which early training may exert, there is always present the vital question of money. Many new settlers have not the means to prepare their fields for easy and efficient irriga tion. They are compelled to resort. To crude methods, which rob them of a part Of their possible profits. The large stockmen pasture cattle and Sheep on public lands and irrigate only sufficient native meadow and alfalfa to supply the needs of their stock in midwinter. With this Class irrigation is a side issue and seldom receives the attention which it deserves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Supply for Irrigation The total area upon which crops were raised by irrigation was, accord in g to the results obtained by the Eleventh Census, acres, or square miles. This applies to the year ending May 31, 1890, the census being taken during the following June. Comparing this area with the total land surface west of the one hundredth meridian, it is found to be approximately only four-tenths of 1 per cent. In other words, for every acre from which crops were obtained by irrigation there were nearly 250 acres of land most of which was not utilized in any way except for pasturage. The area of the land surface of the United States west of the one hundredth meridian and between it and the Pacific ocean is square miles, not including thirty-six counties of western Oregon and Washington. Within this great extent of country are nearly all possi ble combinations of soil and climate, ranging from the smooth, almost barren, plains with scanty vegetation to the high rough mountains, the peaks covered throughout the year with snow and the s10pes clothed with thick forests. In a broad way four great classes of land may be distinguished, according to the amount of moisture received or the water supply available, as shown principally by the character of the vegetation. The following table gives approximately the amount of land embraced in each of these great classes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation Farming: A Handbook for the Proper Application of Water in the Production of Crops In treating upon so wide and diversified a subject as universal irrigation, I have endeavored throughout to make all points touched upon as explicit and com prehensive as possible, avoiding all useless verbiage, and handling the subject as understandingly as has come within the power of simple diction. While the text of the work is based largely upon personal ex perience, some of the deductions contained in these pages, especially regarding those in which the tech mical features are most prominent, are adapted from the Observations of others proficient in their respective lines. I have relied somewhat upon the valuable knowledge Of hydraulic engineers and scientists, and have utilized the best authorities attainable whenever technical matters had to be considered.

Download or read book Irrigation for the Farm Garden and Orchard Classic Reprint written by Henry Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Orchard The profits which are derived from work and enter prise, depend, not so much upon the extent of these, as upon the effectiveness of the methods employed to make them productive. Five acres, or ten, well cultivated, and supplied with abundant water, will yield, in the course of ten years, as much profit as fifty, or a hundred acres, equally well cultivated, but without any provision for the necessary moisture. Many years of observation, and renewed experiences, during the past eight years, have shown that at least one year in three, there is a deficiency of water for the production of full crops, and the crops of the greatest value suffer the most in such seasons. It is scarcely necessary to do more than to call attention to these facts, leaving to the good sense and' the enterprise of American farmers, the adoption of the requisite methods of evading from drouth losses, and the securing of a more satisfactory remuneration for their labor, by the use of the surplus water on their farms, both flowing upon the surface or below it, in such ways as are pointed out in the following pages.

The whole question of irrigation must be viewed from the standpoint of yvill it pay 17 Some people, carried away with the possibilities of irrigation. Lose sight of the all-important financial end of the question, and make extensive investment in apparatus which is unnecessary or unsuited to the work to be done. Others, from ill-advised ideas of economy, endeavour to irrigate without properly laying out their land, and spend on labour alone many times the cost of a suitable scheme. To speak intelligently about irrigation we must know the cost and the value, not only of the undertaking as a whole, but of the individual parts thereof. These are subjects of primary importance. The actual cash outlay necessary for operation is often considered as the cost of irrigation, but allowance has to be made for interest or depreciation on the investment in the irrigation plant.

This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation and Drainage Investigations of the Office of Experiment Stations, U. S. Department of Agriculture The rainfall over one-third. Of the United States is so scanty that irrigation is a necessity to the profitable growth of agricultural crops. In other sections of the country there is an area equal in size to all New England, with Indiana added, which is so wet that crops can not be grown at all, and where settlement and cultivation must be post poned until the land has been diked and drained. In the fifteen States and Territories of the arid region irrigation is the fundamental agricultural problem, because the very existence of civilized life depends in large measure on the ability to use rivers for this purpose. In these States the production of a cheap and abundant home food supply, made possible by irrigation, ' has increased the comfort and lessened the cost of living, and contributed in a greater degree than any other single cause to their continued growth and prosperity. By it desert wastes have been transformed into the most productive, healthful, and beautiful habitations of man to be found on this continent. The cities of Denver, Salt Lake, Los Angeles, and many others of lesser note are as much the creation of irrigation as the orchards and farms which surround them, and all depend for existence upon water and the institutions which govern its ownership and use. In many humid sections of the country high-priced land and intensive methods of cultivation are making of irrigation a factor of continually increasing value and importance, and it would seem that the experience of the United States, like that of Europe, will prove that no agent of agriculture or horticulture is so effective in increasing and insuring large yields as the ability to apply water in the right amount and at the right time. There are large areas of land which always receive too much water, large areas which never receive enough, and yet larger areas Which have sometimes too much and sometimes too little water. Only by proper control of the water supply can these lands be made to produce the best crops, and such a control includes both irrigation and drain age, some lands needing one, some the other, and some needing both. The greater part of the land now farmed in the United States belongs to the last class. The experiments made by this Office and the expe risnes of farmers and gardeners show that irrigation in dry years, even in the regions of heaviest average rainfall, much more than repays the cost of supplying the water. In these regions crops are as often drowned out as burned out, and it is probable that drainage to remove water in wet years will prove as profitable as irrigation in dry years.
